"Nothing
could possibly support my soul under the many agonies which oppressed
me when on board, except a consideration of the freeness, eternity, and
unchangeableness of God's love to me.
I need not fear the sight of sin when I have a perfect, everlasting righteousness wrought out for me by Jesus Christ....
May he enlighten me more and more to know and feel the mystery of his
electing, soul-transforming love. There is nothing like it, to support
us under present and all the various future trials. But the Lord has
apprehended us and will not let us go. Men and devils may do their
worst; our Jesus will allow nothing to pluck us out of His Almighty
hands."
George Whitefield -
was an English Anglican preacher who helped spread the Great Awakening
in Britain, and especially in the British North American colonies
